Adjustable Vent Holder Clamping Head for Secure Angle Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mobile electronic device holders have inadequate clamping force, limited adjustability, and are difficult to install on vents with varying angles, making them inconvenient for users to securely position devices at desired angles.
Innovation Solution
An adjustable holder with a clamping assembly featuring a rotatable clamping head and support arm that can be positioned at various angles, combined with a holding seat and positioning member, allowing secure attachment to different vent angles and easy device orientation adjustment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Force
If the clamping part is designed as a one-piece structure with a hook tip end, then the clamping force is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates because the hook tip end is susceptible to hook other objects
Solution Approach 1:
The clamping part is divided into a clamping body and a separate clamping head with the hook tip end. The clamping head can be detached from the clamping body, allowing users to remove the hook tip end that causes hooking problems while retaining the clamping function. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by separating the problematic hooking feature from the useful clamping function.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the clamping part and support are fastened on the holder, then the holder can be firmly positioned, but the adaptability deteriorates because it is hard to fasten on car vents with different design angles
Solution Approach 1:
The support is designed with a rotatable connection to the holder, allowing it to rotate and adjust to different angles. This dynamic adjustment capability enables the holder to adapt to car vents with various design angles while maintaining firm positioning through the rotatable joint's locking mechanism.
3Device complexity
If the holder has no rotatable part for adjustment, then the device complexity is reduced, but the ease of operation deteriorates because it is hard to adjust the holder to an appropriate position
Solution Approach 1:
The holder incorporates a rotatable support that can be adjusted to different angles and locked in position. This dynamic component adds minimal complexity while significantly improving ease of operation by allowing users to adjust the holder to appropriate positions according to their needs.
4Force
If the clamping head is designed with a hook tip end shape, then the clamping force is improved, but object-generated harmful factors worsen because the hook tip end is susceptible to hook other objects
Solution Approach 1:
The harmful hook tip end feature is extracted and separated from the main clamping body. The clamping head with the hook tip end can be removed and replaced with alternative clamping heads that have different tip end shapes, eliminating the hooking problem while preserving the clamping force function.
